Hope everyone is doing ok. I revisited this thread as I have started switching ADs, and I’m not enjoying the taper much right now. Definitely a grumpy, angry get. I was on fluoxetine, which made me very apathetic about everything. I gained weight and didn’t care about riding or skiing. Just kept eating. I think the AD took away the anxiety but didn’t impact the depression. Anyway, I’m trying to ride again through this period to help, and I’m in the camp of needing something right now to get the brain chemistry right. Then trying to fix the core issues.
Good luck, it’s not always quick and easy to get the balance right.
I’ve gained a heap of weight,not sure if that’s the anxiety,the meds, or a generally unhealthy relationship with crap food. I do know it’s making the bike riding much harder than it used to be.
